Relatively measure Nucleotide or amino acid consistence per-cent for carrying out sequence, a common sequence, as canonical sequence, compares cycle tests with it.When using sequence comparison algorithm, by cycle tests and canonical sequence input computer, specify in case of necessity the subsequence coordinate, and the program parameter of specified sequence algorithm.The sequence comparison algorithm then program parameter based on appointment calculates the sequence identity per-cent of cycle tests with respect to canonical sequence.
Can for example pass through local homology's algorithm (Smith and Waterman, Adv.Appl.Math.2:482 (1981)), sequence analysis algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, J.Mol.Biol.48:443 (1970)), similarity searching method (Pearson and Lipman, Proc.Nat ' l.Acad.Sci.USA 85:2444 (1988)), these algorithms of computer realization (WisconsinGenetics software package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, GAP in WI, BESTFIT, FASTA and TFASTA) or by visual inspection (generally referring to (the same) such as Ausubel), sequence is carried out to the best comparison to compare.
The another kind of example algorithm that is applicable to measure sequence identity per-cent and sequence similarity per-cent is the BLAST algorithm, is described in Altschul etc., in J.Mol.Biol.215:403-410 (1990).For the software that carries out the BLAST analysis, can obtain via American National biotechnology information center (National Center for Biotechnology Information) (network address is www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) is open.This algorithm comprises that at first being tested and appraised short word that in search sequence, length is W identifies that high sub-sequence is to (HSP), described short word with database sequence in there is equal length word coupling or meet certain on the occasion of facing limit mark T while comparing.T is called as adjacent words mark threshold value (Altschul etc. (the same)).These initial adjacent words are hit as seed and are started search, the longer HSP that contains them with searching.Then described word hits and extends on both direction along each sequence, until can increase accumulation comparison mark.For nucleotide sequence, operation parameter M (the award mark of a pair of coupling residue; All the time>0) and the N (point penalty of mispairing residue; All the time<0) calculate running summary of the points scored.For aminoacid sequence, use score matrix computations running summary of the points scored.On all directions, word hits stops while extending in following situations: the maximum value that accumulation comparison mark reaches with respect to it has reduced amount X; Due to the accumulation of one or more residues comparison negative values make running summary of the points scored be down to 0 or below; Or arrive the end of arbitrary sequence.For whether within the scope of the invention identifying nucleic acid or polypeptide, the parameter preset of blast program is suitable.The preset value that BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequence) is used is that word length (W) is 11, and expected value (E) is 10, M=5, N=-4 and two chains are compared.For aminoacid sequence, the preset value that the BLASTP program is used is that word length (W) is 3, and expected value (E) is 10 and BLOSUM62 score matrix.The TBLATN program is (for nucleotide sequence, the use protein sequence) preset value used is that word length (W) is 3, expected value (E) is 10 and BLOSUM 62 score matrixes (referring to Henikoff and Henikoff, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 89:10915 (1989)).
Except sequence of calculation consistence per-cent, the BLAST algorithm also carries out statistical study (referring to for example Karlin and Altschul, Proc.Nat ' l.Acad.Sci.USA 90:5873-5787 (1993)) to the similarity between two sequences.A kind of similarity measurement provided by the BLAST algorithm is minimum probability summation (P (N)), indicates the probability that accidentally has coupling between two Nucleotide or aminoacid sequence.For instance, if will test nucleic acid minimum probability summation with reference to the nucleic acid comparison time, be less than approximately 0.1, more preferably be less than approximately 0.01, and most preferably be less than approximately 0.001, so described nucleic acid is considered to similar to canonical sequence.
Except producing suitable lipid or hydrocarbon with production oils, fuel and grease chemical article, other Consideration that impact is selected the microorganism for the present invention also comprises: (1) lipid content high (accounting for the per-cent of cell weight); (2) be easy to growth; (3) be easy to carry out genetically engineered; And (4) are easy to biomass are processed.In specific embodiments, wild-type or have at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65% or at least 70% or the cell of more lipid through genetically engineered microorganisms.Preferred organism is with heterotrophism mode grow (utilizing sugar to grow under the lucifuge condition).

2. bio-reactor
For example, purpose to realize carrying out genetic manipulation and to produce hydrocarbon (lipid, lipid acid, aldehyde, alcohol and alkane) of culturing micro-organisms.The cultivation of last type is to carry out on a small scale and under the condition that at least can grow in initial microorganism at first.Take produce cultivation that hydrocarbon is purpose usually extensive in bio-reactor (for example 10,000L, 40,000L, 100,000L or larger bio-reactor) carry out.Usually in bio-reactor, in liquid nutrient medium, micro-algae (comprising former Trentepohlia species) is cultivated in the method for the invention.Bio-reactor does not allow light to enter usually.
Cultivate the oleaginous microorganism cell with bio-reactor or fermentor tank, preferably cultivate microalgae cell, experience the stages of their physiological period.Bio-reactor provides a lot of advantages with for heterotrophic growth and propagation method.In order to produce the biomass for food, preferably in liquid culture, (such as in suspension culture) makes micro-algae bulk fermentation.Bio-reactor (as the steel fermentor tank) can hold very large culture volume (using 40,000 liters and more jumbo bio-reactor in various embodiments of the present invention).Bio-reactor also allows to control culture condition usually, as temperature, pH value, oxygen are pressed and carbon dioxide level.For instance, bio-reactor is normally configurable, for example uses the port be connected with pipeline, to allow gaseous fraction (as oxygen or nitrogen) bubbling, passes through liquid culture.Utilize bio-reactor more easily to be controlled other culture parameters (as the pH value of substratum, identity and concentration and other medium component of trace element).
Bio-reactor can be through configuration so that substratum copy during increasing with number and flow through bio-reactor in micro-algae.In some embodiments, for example can be after inoculation but before cell reaches desired density, substratum is injected to bio-reactor.In other cases, when cultivating beginning, bio-reactor is filled with substratum, and the substratum that do not reinject after the inoculation culture thing.In other words, cultivate micro-algal biomass for some time in aqueous culture medium, during micro-algae copy and number increases; Yet, whole, do not have a large amount of aqueous culture mediums to flow through bio-reactor in during this period of time.Therefore in some embodiments, after inoculation, do not have aqueous culture medium to flow through bio-reactor.
Can use be equipped with as rotating knife and revolve oar, head motion, stirring rod, the bio-reactor of the devices such as parts that inject for gas under pressure mixed micro-algae culture.Mixing can be successional or intermittent.For instance, in some embodiments, do not maintain gas and enter the turbulent state that enters with substratum so that micro-algae is copied, until realize that the required number of described micro-algae only increases to.
Can use the bio-reactor port that gas, solid, semisolid and liquid are introduced or extracted in the bio-reactor chamber that holds micro-algae.Surpass a port (for example a port enters for substratum, and another port is for sampling) although a lot of bio-reactors have, there is no need to allow a port only for a kind of material, enter or discharge.For instance, port can for make substratum flow into bio-reactor and subsequently for sampling, gas enter, gas is discharged or other purpose.Preferably can be in the situation that do not change or the aseptic properties that endangers culture is reused thief hole.Thief hole can have valve through configuration or allows sample to stop and starting flowing or other devices of serial sampling parts is provided.Bio-reactor has at least one port that allows the inoculation culture thing usually, and described port can also be for other purpose, as substratum or gas enter.
The bio-reactor port allows the gas content of micro-algae culture is controlled.For instance, a part of volume of bio-reactor can be gas and on-liquid, and the gas inlet of bio-reactor allows gas is pumped in bio-reactor.The gas that can advantageously be pumped in bio-reactor comprises air, air/CO 2mixture, inert gas (as argon gas) and other gas.Bio-reactor is usually through equipping so that the user can control the speed that gas enters bio-reactor.The gas flow that can enter in bio-reactor by increase as mentioned above, promotes culture to mix.
The gas flow increase also can affect the turbidity of culture.Can be by settle an inlet mouth below the aqueous culture medium liquid level so that the gas sparging that enters bio-reactor to the culture surface, thereby realize turbulent flow.One or more air outlets make the gas loss, thereby prevent acute build up of pressure in bio-reactor.Air outlet is preferably led to and is prevented that the contaminative microorganism from entering " unidirectional " valve in bio-reactor.
3. substratum
Micro-algae culture medium usually containing just like the fixed nitrogen source, fixedly carbon source, trace element, optionally for the damping fluid that maintains the pH value and the component of phosphoric acid class material (usually providing with phos-phate forms).Other component can comprise salt (as sodium-chlor), especially for the micro-algae of seawater.Nitrogenous source comprises organic and inorganic nitrogen-sourced, comprises that (pure ammonia or salt form, as (NH such as but not limited to dinitrogen, nitrose material, nitrate, ammonia 4) 2sO 4and NH 4oH), protein, soyflour, corn impregnation liquid and yeast extract.The example of trace element comprises zinc, boron, cobalt, copper, manganese and molybdenum, for example is respectively ZnCl 2, H 3bO 3, CoCl 26H 2o, CuCl 22H 2o, MnCl 24H 2o and (NH 4) 6mo 7o 244H 2the form of O.
The microorganism that the method according to this invention is used is present in each place, the whole world and environment.Due to them and the separating and evolutionary divergence that their occur of other species, so be difficult to the particular growth medium of prediction for optimum growh being provided and producing lipid and/or hydrocarbon composition.In some cases, the certain micro-organisms strain may not grow in specific growth medium, and this is because have certain inhibition component or do not have needed certain the basic nutritional needs of described specified microorganisms strain.
Solid and liquid growth medium generally can obtain from multiple source, and preparation method's the explanation that is applicable to the defined medium of multiple-microorganism strain can for example see http://www.utex.org/ online (by the University of Texas (University ofTexas) of Austin (Austin), 1 University Station A6700, Austin, Texas, the website that 78712-0183 maintains for its algal cultures preservation center (UTEX)) on.For instance, various fresh water and salt water culture medium comprise the substratum be described in PCT publication No. 2008/151149, and described announcement is incorporated to this paper by reference.
In a specific embodiment, the proteose substratum is applicable to sterile culture, and can be by 1g proteose peptone being joined to the substratum for preparing the 1L volume in 1 liter of Bu Shi substratum (Bristol Medium) (pH approximately 6.8).The Bu Shi substratum comprises 2.94mM NaNO in the aqueous solution 3, 0.17mM CaCl 22H 2o, 0.3mM MgSO 47H 2o, 0.43mM, 1.29mM KH 2pO 4and 1.43mM NaCl.Nutrient agar for 1.5%, can join 15g agar in 1L solution.Solution covered and carry out autoclaving, then being stored under refrigerating temperature before use.Another example is former algae isolation medium (PIM), it comprises 10g/L Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHP), 0.9g/L sodium hydroxide, 0.1g/L sal epsom, 0.2g/L potassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.3g/L ammonium chloride, 10g/L glucose, 0.001g/L vitamin, 20g/L agar, 0.25g/L 5-flurocytosine, pH value scope is 5.0 to 5.2 (referring to Pore, 1973, App.Microbiology, 26:648-649).Can easily identify other substratum that is applicable to the inventive method by the consulting URL that above indicate or by other tissue (as SAG, CCAP or CCALA) that consulting maintains microorganisms cultures.SAG refers to (the University of of brother's Dettingen university

For oils production, select that fixedly carbon source is very important, this is because fixedly the cost of carbon source is necessary enough low and can low cost production oils.Therefore, when suitable carbon source for example comprises acetic ester, floridoside (floridoside), fructose, semi-lactosi, glucuronic acid, glucose, glycerine, lactose, seminose, 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, rhamnosyl, sucrose and/or wood sugar, selecting the raw material that contains these compounds is an importance of the inventive method.The suitable raw material used according to the inventive method comprises cellulosic material, whey, molasses, potato, Chinese sorghum, sucrose, beet, sugarcane, rice and the wheat of for example black liquor, W-Gum, process depolymerization.Carbon source can also form of mixtures provide, as the mixture of sucrose with the beet pulp of process depolymerization.One or more carbon sources can be at least about 50 μ M, at least about 100 μ M, at least about 500 μ M, at least about 5mM, at least about 50mM and at least about one or more exogenous fixedly carbon source forms that provide of 500mM concentration, provide.Relevant especially carbon source comprises Mierocrystalline cellulose (being the depolymerization form), glycerine, sucrose and Chinese sorghum for purposes of the present invention, is discussed in hereinafter in more detail separately.
According to the present invention, can utilize the cellulose biomass through depolymerization to carry out culturing micro-organisms as raw material.Cellulose biomass (for example straw, as corn stalk) is cheap and is easy to obtain; Yet, attempt to use this material to end in failure as the raw material for yeast.Specifically, have been found that described raw material can suppress yeast growth, and yeast can not utilize the 5-carbon sugar that produced by the cellulosic material wood sugar of hemicellulose (for example from).On the contrary, micro-algae can rely on the cellulosic material growth through processing.Cellulosic material generally comprises the hemicellulose of the Mierocrystalline cellulose of about 40%-60%, about 20%-40% and the xylogen of 10%-30%.
Suitable cellulosic material comprises the resistates that comes from draft and woody energy crop, and farm crop (not taking from the field of Major Foods or fiber product), and plant part, be mainly stem and leaf.Example comprises agricultural waste, as bagasse, rice husk, zein fiber (comprising stem, leaf, shell and rod), Wheat Straw, straw, beet pulp, citrus pulp, orange peel; Forestry waste, as hardwood and cork thinnings, and the hardwood and the cork resistates that from timber, operate; Timber waste, as sawmill's waste (wood shavings, sawdust) and pulp mill's refuse; Municipal waste, as papery part, city timber waste and the City Green refuse (as cut grass in city) of municipal solid waste; And wooden construction refuse.Other cellulosic material comprises special Mierocrystalline cellulose crop, as switchgrass, hybridization aspen and awns genus, fiber sugarcane and fiber Chinese sorghum.The five-carbon sugar produced by these materials comprises wood sugar.
Cellulosic material is processed to improve the efficiency that microorganism utilizes sugar contained in these materials.The invention provides for after sour explosion, cellulosic material being processed, for example, so that described material is applicable to the novel method that microorganism (micro-algae and oleaginous yeast) is carried out to the heterotrophism cultivation.Wood fiber biomass as described above comprises various components, comprises Mierocrystalline cellulose, the crystalline polymer of the glucose (a kind of hexose) that β-Isosorbide-5-Nitrae connects; Hemicellulose, more loosely connected polymkeric substance, mainly comprise wood sugar (a kind of five-carbon sugar) and comprise a small amount of seminose, semi-lactosi, pectinose; Xylogen, a kind of aromatic polymer of complexity, comprise sinapyl alcohol and its derivative and pectin (straight chain of the polygalacturonic acid that α-Isosorbide-5-Nitrae is connected).Because Mierocrystalline cellulose and hemicellulose have paradigmatic structure, for example, so being, the sugar (monomer glucose and xylose) in the middle of their can not efficiently be utilized by a lot of microorganisms the form of (metabolism).For these microorganisms, cellulose biomass is carried out to further processing and to produce the monomer sugar that forms polymkeric substance, can contribute to very much to guarantee that cellulosic material is used as raw material (carbon source) efficiently.
The process that Mierocrystalline cellulose or cellulose biomass is called to " explosion " is wherein processed biomass with dilute sulphuric acid (or other acid) under high temperature and high pressure.This process adjusts biomass so that Mierocrystalline cellulose wherein and hemicellulose component can be become the glucose and xylose monomer by enzymically hydrolyse efficiently.Resulting monomer sugar is called as cellulose sugar.Cellulose sugar can be utilized by microorganism subsequently, produces multiple metabolite (for example lipid).Acid explosion step makes the hemicellulose component partly be hydrolyzed into constitutive character monose.These sugar can be in the situation that further process and discharge from biomass fully.In some embodiments, further processing is hydrothermal process, comprises with hot water the material through explosion is washed, and removes pollutent (as salt).Cellulose alcoholic fermentation does not need this step, and this is because use rarer sugared concentration in described method.In other embodiments, further processing is other acid treatment.In other embodiment again, further processing is that material to through explosion carries out enzymically hydrolyse.These are processed and can also any array configuration use.The type of processing can affect the type (for example five-carbon sugar is compared hexose) of discharged sugar and their d/d stages during the course.Therefore, can produce is mainly the different sugar stream of five-carbon sugar or hexose.These therefore can be for the specified microorganisms that has different carbon and utilize ability through five-carbon sugars of enrichments or hexose stream.
Method of the present invention generally includes fermentation to produce the cell density higher than the cell density reached in ethanol fermentation.Because the density of the culture of producing for heterotrophism Mierocrystalline cellulose oils is higher, for example, so fixedly carbon source (sugar of cellulose-derived stream) preferably is conc forms.Glucose level before incubation step in the process cellulosic material of depolymerization is at least 300 grams per liters, at least 400 grams per liters, at least 500 grams per liters or at least 600 grams per liters preferably, described incubation step is optionally that fed-batch type is cultivated, in wherein at Growth of Cells and while gathering lipid, passing in time material being delivered to cell.Do not use the cellulose sugar stream that equals or approach this concentration range in production of cellulosic ethanol.Therefore, in order to produce during producing wood fibre oils and to continue very high cell density, the carbon raw material must be delivered in the heterotrophism culture with the height conc forms.Yet, not the substrate of oleaginous microorganism in incoming flow or can not can be gathered in bio-reactor by any component of oleaginous microorganism metabolism, maybe can suppress required final product and produce if described component has toxicity, will cause problem so.And in ethanol fermentation, the derivative by product of xylogen and xylogen, carbohydrate-derived by product (as furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural) and stem from cellulosic material produce the salt of (in the explosion process and in follow-up N-process) and even not pentose/the hexose of metabolism all can cause problem, these affect in the meeting method that the concentration in initial feed is higher at these materials and are significantly enlarged.For the hexose that makes to can be used for the wood fibre oils described in scale operation the present invention reaches the sugared concentration in 300g/L scope (or higher), the concentration of these toxicants can be 20 times of common existing concentration in the ethanol fermentation of cellulose biomass.
Cellulosic material is carried out to the decrepitation method processing and can utilize a large amount of sulfuric acid, heat and pressure, thus the by product of release carbohydrate, i.e. furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural.Furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural during hydrolysis of hemicellulose via making wood sugar be dehydrated into furfural and water and produce.In some embodiments of the present invention, before will introducing bio-reactor through the lignocellulosic substance of saccharification, for example, from wherein removing these by products (furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural).The method of in certain embodiments of the invention, removing the by product of carbohydrate is that the cellulosic material through explosion is carried out to hydrothermal process.In addition, the invention provides the method for with tolerating, producing wood fibre oils as the algae strain of the compound of furfural or hydroxymethylfurfural.In another embodiment, the present invention also provides the furfural in not only can the tolerate fermentable substratum, but also in fact can metabolism in method and the microorganism of these by products of wood fibre oils production period.
The explosion process also produces the salt of significance level.For instance, when making the water with 10: 1 through the cellulose biomass of explosion: when solids ratio (dry weight) is resuspended, for the representative condition of explosion, can produce the specific conductivity over 5mS/cm.In certain embodiments of the invention, to what diluted, through the biomass of explosion, carry out the enzymatic saccharification, and by the supernatant liquor that obtains nearly 25 times concentrated with for bio-reactor.High (up to 1.5M Na unexpectedly through the salt level in concentrated sugar stream (as measured by specific conductivity) +equivalent).When being neutralized to carry out follow-up enzymatic method for saccharifying, the material to through explosion can produce again salt equally.The invention provides and remove these salt so that the concentrated cellulose sugar stream of the process of gained can be used to produce the method in the heterotrophism method of wood fibre oils.The method of in some embodiments, removing these salt is to carry out deionization with resin (such as, but not limited to DOWEX Marathon MR3).In certain embodiments, use the step of resin deionization before biomass being carried out to hydrothermal process or aforesaid any combination at concentrated sugar or before regulating pH value and saccharification; In other embodiments, carry out described step after one or more in these processes.In other embodiments, the explosion process itself changes, to avoid producing high-caliber salt unexpectedly.The suitable replacement scheme of for instance, cellulose biomass being carried out to sulfuric acid (or other acid) explosion is to make cellulose biomass can carry out the machinery pulping of enzymically hydrolyse (saccharification).In other embodiment again, use can be resisted the genetically engineered algae strain of process that the indigenous microorganisms strain of high-level salt maybe can be resisted high-level salt.
For the preparation of utilizing oleaginous microorganism to carry out a preferred embodiment of the method for the cellulose biomass through explosion that heterotrophism wood fibre oils produces.First step comprises the pH value of the resuspended cellulose biomass through explosion is adjusted in the 5.0-5.3 scope, and the washing the fibre cellulosic biomass is three times subsequently.Can complete this washing step by multiple means, described means comprise to be utilized desalination resin and ion exchange resin, reverse osmosis, hydrothermal process (as described above) or only repeats resuspended and centrifugal in deionized water.This washing step produces the cellulose flow of specific conductivity between 100 μ S/cm-300 μ S/cm, and removes a large amount of furfurals and hydroxymethylfurfural.Can retain the decant thing from this washing step, be concentrated with the five-carbon sugar to discharging from the hemicellulose component.Second step comprises that the cellulose biomass to the process washing carries out the enzymatic saccharification.In a preferred embodiment, use Accellerase (Genencor).Third step comprises by centrifugal or decant and to the biomass through saccharification and is rinsed to reclaim sugar.Resulting biomass (solid) are the components that high-energy is rich in xylogen, can be used as fuel or abandon.Be collected in the sugar stream be recovered in centrifugal/decant and flushing process.The 4th step comprises carries out microfiltration, to remove pollution solid and to reclaim penetrant.The 5th step comprises enrichment step, and described step can utilize vacuum-evaporator to complete.This step optionally can comprise and add defoamer, and such as P ' 2000 (Sigma/Fluka), this contains protein in glycogen material because of gained sometimes is essential.
In another embodiment of the inventive method, carbon source is glycerine, comprises by biofuel and carries out the acidified of transesterification generation and without superacidulated glycerin by-products.In one embodiment, carbon source comprises glycerine and at least one other carbon source.In some cases, when fermentation starts by all glycerine and at least one other fixedly carbon source offer microorganism.In some cases, by glycerine and at least one other fixedly carbon source offer microorganism with estimated rate simultaneously.In some cases, during the fermentation by glycerine and at least one other fixedly carbon source with estimated rate, deliver in microorganism.
Certain slightly algae carry out fissional speed faster than the speed (referring to PCT publication No. 2008/151149) under existing at glucose under glycerine exists.In these cases, two growth period processes (wherein at first glycerine is delivered to cell so that cell density increases fast, then send into glucose to gather lipid) can improve the efficiency of producing lipid.The glycerin by-products of utilizing the transesterification process make its get back to production process in the time significant economic advantages can be provided.Also provide other feed process, such as the mixture of glycerine and glucose.Present described mixture and also there is identical economic benefits.In addition, the invention provides and present the method to micro-algae by substituting sugar (as sucrose) with various array configurations together with glycerine.
In another embodiment of the inventive method, carbon source is Nulomoline.Nulomoline is by making sucrose decomposition become its monosaccharide component (fructose and glucose) to produce.Can produce Nulomoline via several different methods as known in the art.A kind of described method is the heating aqueous sucrose solution.Often with catalyzer, accelerate the conversion of sucrose to Nulomoline.These catalyzer can be biological catalysts, and enzyme for example, such as saccharase and sucrase being added in sucrose to the hydrolysis reaction that accelerates to produce Nulomoline.Acid is an example of non-biological catalyst, and it can accelerate hydrolysis reaction when coordinating with heat.After making Nulomoline, the crystallization proneness of described Nulomoline is less than sucrose, and therefore for storage and fed-batch type fermentation, provide advantage, in the situation that need concentrated carbon source in heterotrophism microorganisms (comprising micro-algae) in the fed-batch type fermentation.In one embodiment, carbon source is Nulomoline, preferably in incubation step (being optionally that fed-batch type is cultivated), is before concentrated form, preferably at least 800 grams per liters, at least 900 grams per liters, at least 1000 grams per liters or at least 1100 grams per liters.During the Nulomoline of passing in time the form that will preferably be concentrated at Growth of Cells and while gathering lipid is delivered to cell.
In another embodiment of the inventive method, carbon source is sucrose, comprises the compound material that contains sucrose, the dense sugar cane juice produced such as sugarcane processing.Because the density of the culture of producing for heterotrophism oils is higher, so fixedly carbon source (such as sucrose, glucose etc.) preferably was concentrated form before incubation step, the fixedly carbon source of at least 500 grams per liters, at least 600 grams per liters, at least 700 grams per liters or at least 800 grams per liters preferably, described incubation step is optionally that fed-batch type is cultivated, in wherein at Growth of Cells and while gathering lipid, passing in time described material being delivered to cell.In some cases, carbon source is sucrose, described sucrose is dense sugar cane juice form, preferably before incubation step, be concentrated form, preferably containing at least 60% solid or approximately 770 grams per liters sugar, at least 70% solid or approximately 925 grams per liter sugar, or at least 80% solid or about 1125 grams per liter sugar, described incubation step is optionally that fed-batch type is cultivated.In passing in time at Growth of Cells and while gathering lipid the dense sugar cane juice concentrated being delivered to cell.
In one embodiment, substratum further comprises that at least one sucrose utilizes enzyme.In some cases, substratum comprises invertase.In one embodiment, invertase is the invertase that can secrete, and it is by exogenous invertase gene encode (being expressed by microbial population).Therefore, in some cases, as hereinafter be described in more detail in the IV part, micro-algae utilizes enzyme through genetically engineered to express sucrose, such as sucrose transporter, invertase, hexokinase, glucokinase or fructokinase.
The compound material that contains sucrose comprises the waste molasses that sugarcane processing produces; Utilize this low price waste prods of sugarcane processing can significantly save hydrocarbon and other oils production cost.The compound material that contains sucrose for the another kind of the inventive method is Chinese sorghum, comprises sorghum molasses and pure Chinese sorghum.Sorghum molasses is produced by the juice of sweet sorghum.Its sugared kenel mainly is comprised of glucose (dextrose), fructose and sucrose.
4. oils is produced
For the method according to this invention production oils, preferred culturing cell in the dark, as for example when being used the fermentor tank of very big (40,000 liters and higher) that do not allow the rayed culture.Former Trentepohlia species in containing the substratum of fixing carbon source and in the lucifuge situation Growth and reproduction with production oils; Described growth is called as heterotrophic growth.
For instance, the inoculum that lipid is produced to oleaginous microorganism cell (preferably microalgae cell) is introduced in substratum; Cell starts to have lag phase (lag phase) before breeding.After lag phase, proliferative speed steadily increases and enters logarithmic phase or exponential phase of growth.The exponential growth after date, because nutrient substance (as nitrogen) reduces, toxicant increases and quorum sensing mechanism slows down breeding.After this slows down, breeding stops, and depends on that the specific environment provided to cell, cell enter stationary phase or steady growth conditions.In order to obtain the biomass that are rich in lipid, usually collect culture after finishing exponential phase of growth, nutrient substance (except carbon) that can be by making nitrogen or another kind of key thus depletedly force cell that the carbon source of excessive existence is changed into to lipid to make exponential phase of growth than early stopping.Can control the culture condition parameter, so that the combination of overall oils production, the lipid matter that produces and/or the production of specific oils reach best.

2. engineered method-homologous recombination
Homologous recombination is the ability in complementary dna sequence coupling and exchange homology zone.Transgenosis DNA (" donor ") is introduced in organism, and described DNA contains the sequence (" template ") with the genome sequence homology of institute target, then in corresponding genome homologous sequence site is recombinated genome.In most of the cases, the mechanical step of this process comprises: (1) makes the pairing of homologous dna fragment; (2) make donor dna molecule generation double-strand break; (3) free-end of donor dna is inserted in the template DNA molecule, carries out subsequently DNA and synthesize; And (4) generation double-strand break repair for event, produce final recombinant products.
The ability of carrying out homologous recombination in host's organism has many practical significances, and this is because it can carry out and can be for the preparation of the oleaginous microorganism that can produce tailor-made oil on the molecular genetics aspect.Homologous recombination is accurate gene target event in essence, and therefore, the most of transgenic lines that prepared by identical target sequence are basically identical on phenotype, needs the few transformation event of screening.Homologous recombination also is inserted into gene in host chromosome, produces fabulous genetic stability, even in the situation that do not exist heredity to select.Because different chromogene seats may affect genetic expression, or even the genetic expression of allogeneic promoter/UTR mediation, so homologous recombination can be search locus and assess the method for these environment on the impact of genetic expression in unknown gene group environment.
The useful especially genetically engineered application that utilizes homologous recombination is to select specificity host's regulatory element (as promotor/UTR) and drive heterology genetic expression in the high degree of specificity mode.For instance, but remove or knock out delta 8 desaturase genes/gene family expectability with the heterology gene of codes selection mark and can improve the percent of total of the saturated fatty acid produced in host cell.The work embodiment that embodiment 11 has described homologous recombination target construct and in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape, described delta 8 desaturase genes removed or knocked out.
Because homologous recombination is accurate gene target event, so it can be used to any Nucleotide in target gene or target area is accurately modified, as long as identified enough flank region, both can.Therefore, the means that can utilize homologous recombination to be modified as the adjusting sequence of the genetic expression on affecting RNA and/or protein.It can also be used to the modifying protein coding region to attempt regulatory enzyme activity (as substrate specificity, avidity and Km), and thereby makes the metabolism of host cell that required variation occur.Homologous recombination provides controls host genome, thereby realizes that gene target, gene conversion, genetically deficient, gene replication, gene are inverted and the effective means of exchange genetic expression regulatory element (as promotor, enhanser and 3 ' UTR).
The target construct that can contain the endogenous sequence fragment by utilization comes target gene or the target area in " target " host cell endogenous gene group to realize homologous recombination.Described target sequence can be positioned on 5 ' end of target gene or target area, side joint target gene/zone on the 3 ' end in target gene/zone or even.Described target construct can have the super spirial plasmid DNA form of other carrier framework, PCR product form or the linearizing molecular form of carrier free skeleton is transformed in host cell.In some cases, it is favourable at first utilizing the homologous sequence exposure in restriction enzyme render transgenic DNA (donor dna).This step can increase recombination efficiency and reduce the event generation do not expected to have.Other method that increases recombination efficiency comprises utilizes PCR to produce to transform transgenosis DNA, described DNA to contain the linear end with the genome sequence homology of institute target.
In order to carry out non-limitative illustration, comprise the KE858DNA zone of the former algae of mulberry fruit shape in the donor dna sequence for the zone of homologous recombination.KE858 is a 1.3kb genomic fragment, and it comprises a part that has the protein coding region of homology with transfer RNA (tRNA) (tRNA) family of protein.The southern blotting technique method has showed that the KE858 sequence exists with single copy form in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape (UTEX1435) genome.This zone and the example that uses this zone to carry out the homologous recombination target have been described in PCT and apply in No. PCT/US2009/66142.Another zone of using in donor dna is the part in 6S rRNA genome sequence.During in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape is carried out to homologous recombination, this sequence of use has been described in following examples.

B. gene and codon optimized
Gene generally includes promotor, encoding sequence and stops control sequence.When being assembled by recombinant DNA technology, gene can be called as expression cassette, and can be by the restriction site side joint so that be inserted into for recombination is introduced in the carrier of host cell.Expression cassette can be by genomic dna sequence or other nucleic acid side joint, and purpose is to facilitate expression cassette to pass through the homologous recombination stable integration in genome.Perhaps, carrier and its expression cassette can keep not integrating, and in this case, carrier generally includes the replication orgin that can make the heterology carrier DNA be copied.
The common gene existed in carrier is the gene of a kind of protein of coding, and described protein expression makes it possible to the reconstitution cell that will contain described protein and the cell differentiation of not expressing described protein and comes.Described gene and its corresponding gene product are known as selective marker.Can use any in the multiple choices mark for the transgenic constructs that transforms former algae.The example of suitable selective marker comprises G418 resistant gene, nitrate reductase gene (referring to (1997) such as Dawson, Current Microbiology 35:356-362), hygromycin phosphotransferase gene (HPT; Referring to (2002) such as Kim, Mar.Biotechnol.4:63-73), neomycin phosphotransferase gene ble gene (it gives the phleomycin resistance) (Huang etc. (2007), and aminoglycoside-3 Appl.Microbiol.Biotechnol.72:197-205), '-O-phosphotransferase (SEQ ID NO:194) (it gives kantlex (kanamycin) resistance).Measuring micro-algae knows the method for antibiotic susceptibility.For instance, Mol Gen Genet.1996 October 16; 252 (5): 572-9.
In being generally used for the transgenic constructs that transforms micro-algae (comprising former Trentepohlia species), can also use not based on antibiotic other selective marker.The gene of giving the ability that can utilize some carbon source that before can not have been utilized by micro-algae also can be used as selective marker.For instance, the strain of the former algae algae of mulberry fruit shape can not rely on sucrose growth (if growth is arranged) usually well.The construct that use contains invertase gene can be given positive transformant and usings the ability of sucrose as carbon substrate growth.About using the sucrose utilization to be discussed in following part IV as the other details of selective marker and other selective marker.
For purposes of the present invention, comprise at least 2 kinds for the preparation of the expression vector of recombinant host cell of the present invention, and generally include 3 kinds of genes, wherein a kind of gene is selective marker.For instance; can be by the genetically engineered former algae of preparation process of the present invention that is converted with carrier of the present invention; described carrier also comprises one or more allogenic genes except selective marker, such as invertase gene or acyl group ACP-thioesterase gene.Can utilize inducible promoter to make one or both genetic expression, the relative opportunity that described promotor makes it possible to control these genetic expressions is to strengthen the lipid productive rate and to the conversion of fatty acid ester.The expression of two or more allogenic genes can the control in identical inducible promoter under, or under the control in different induction types (or composing type) promotor.Under latter event, can induce the first expression of exogenous genes very first time section (during can induce or not induce the second expression of exogenous genes) and can induce for second the second time period of expression of exogenous genes (during can induce or not induce the first expression of exogenous genes).

The former Trentepohlia species of expressing saccharase in containing the substratum of sucrose are preferred micro-algae species of production oils.This protein expression and extracellular target with complete activity makes resulting host cell can utilize the sucrose growth, and their counterpart that process transforms can not.Therefore, the invention provides the former algae reconstitution cell of the invertase gene with codon optimization, described invertase gene includes but not limited to the yeast invertase gene, and it is integrated in cellular genome so that invertase gene is expressed (as assessed by invertase activity and sucrose hydrolysis).The present invention also provide the invertase gene that is used as selective marker in former algae reconstitution cell (this is because these cells can utilize the sucrose growth, they not through the counterpart that conversion can not); And the method for utilizing saccharase as effective selective marker of algae molecular genetics, recombinant host cell to be selected.
Invertase successful expression in former algae has also illustrated another aspect of the present invention, because this shows allos (restructuring), protein can be expressed in alga cells, and outer and enter in substratum by successful transporte to cells with form with complete activity and function.Therefore, the invention provides in micro-algae, expressing multiple different heterologous protein and they are secreted into to method and the reagent outside host cell.Described protein comprises that for example industrial enzyme is (as lipase, proteolytic enzyme, cellulase, polygalacturonase, amylase (for example SEQ ID NO:190-191), esterase, oxydo-reductase, transferring enzyme, Sumylact L, isomerase and saccharase) and human cytokines (as somatomedin, cytokine, the full length antibody that comprises two light chains and two heavy chains, Fab, scFv (single chain variable fragment), camel type antibody, antibody fragment, the antibody fragment fusion rotein, the antibody receptor fusion rotein, Regular Insulin, Interferon, rabbit and rhIGF-1).
The successful expression of invertase in former algae also illustrated another aspect of the present invention, because this provides method and the reagent that utilizes the fungi transit peptides to guide protein secreting in former algae in algae; And definite peptide whether can in former frustule, serve as transit peptides with and serve as method and the reagent of the ability of transit peptides.Method of the present invention and reagent can be used as evaluation and can successfully albumen be transported to extracellular and make yeast invertase obtain greatly instrument and the platform of other transit peptides of utilization in these methods.As indicated in the present embodiment, remove endogenous yeast invertase transit peptides and it is replaced with to other transit peptides (host algae endogenic or from (eukaryotic cell, prokaryotic cell prokaryocyte and the virus) in other source) and can identify whether any target peptide can serve as the transit peptides that pilot protein matter is discharged from cell.
The example of suitable invertase comprises the invertase indicated by gene pool accession number CAB95010, NP_012104 and CAA06839.The limiting examples of suitable saccharase is listed in the table below in 3.Following sequence table comprises the aminoacid sequence of each listed saccharase.In some cases, being applicable to exogenous sucrose in method of the present invention and carrier utilizes genes encoding and the invertase that is selected from table 3 to have at least 40%, 50%, 60%, 75% or 90% or the conforming invertase of homoamino acid more.
Table 3. invertase.
By former algae, saccharase is secreted in substratum to the waste molasses growth that makes cell can utilize equally sugarcane processing to produce, as it utilizes the growth of pure reagent level glucose; Utilize this low price waste prods of sugarcane processing can significantly save lipid and other oils production cost.Therefore, the invention provides a kind of microorganisms cultures, described culture contains former algae microbial population and comprises (i) sucrose and (ii) substratum of invertase.In various embodiments, the sucrose in culture derives from the cellulosic material (it may optionally contain xylogen) of Chinese sorghum, sugar beet, sugarcane, molasses or process depolymerization.In yet another aspect, method of the present invention and reagent can significantly increase number and the type of the raw material that can be reorganized former algae utilizes.Although the microorganism of this paper example is through changing so that they can utilize sucrose, but can utilize method of the present invention and reagent so that raw material (as Mierocrystalline cellulose) can by can eccrine fiber the present invention of element enzyme, polygalacturonase, isomerase etc. through engineered host microorganism utilization, thereby make the degradation production of enzymatic reaction no longer only merely by host's tolerance, utilized by the host but can be used as carbon source.The example of this respect is described in hereinafter and in embodiment, in described embodiment, microorganism is through the engineered alpha-galactosidase that can secrete with expression, thereby give the ability of the alpha galactosides key in the hydrolysis oligosaccharides, described alpha galactosides key is such as contained alpha galactosides key in raffinose and stachyose (for being present in two kinds of oligosaccharides in agricultural waste stream).
2. the alpha galactosides expression of enzymes
Although the expression of invertase as described above can be given former frustule, can utilize more efficiently sucrose as the ability of carbon source (via making the α-key between fructose molecule and glucose molecule in disaccharides sucrose carry out enzymic hydrolysis), the expression of other enzyme of the α-key of other type in the hydrolysis oligosaccharides also can be given the ability that former frustule utilizes other carbon source.The expression of these enzymes (and ability of the carbon source that can utilize former algae and other microalgae cell usually can not utilize produced) can utilize the positive colony of these carbon source for growth to be used as the selective marker for the former frustule of these transgenosiss by making it possible to selection.
In one embodiment, the former frustule of restructuring of the present invention further contains the allogenic gene of one or more coding polysaccharide degrading enzymes.In various embodiments, the gene of one or more coding polysaccharide degrading enzymes is genes of coding secretor type alpha-galactosidase.The ability of described sugar (carbon source) growth that contains D-semi-lactosi glycosidic bond (as the α-key between semi-lactosi monosaccharide units and glucose monosaccharide units) through the algae strain utilization transformed is given in the expression of exogenous secretor type alpha-galactosidase in former frustule.The former Trentepohlia algae strain of expressing exogenous secretor type alpha-galactosidase can utilize disaccharides, as melibiose (by the disaccharides that α-D-semi-lactosi-glucose forms).
Sugar, as raffinose (trisaccharide that comprises α-connecting-type semi-lactosi-glucose-fructose) and stachyose (by two α-connecting-type D-galactose unit, the tetrose that back has α-connecting-type glucose and fructose to form) with sizable ratio, be present in agricultural waste stream, described agricultural waste stream is as beet pulp (raffinose) and soyflour (stachyose).Described agricultural residue has represented and can have been changed into by the microorganism that can utilize them (comprising former algae) the important undeveloped carbon source of oils.
The strain of former Trentepohlia algae can not utilize the oligosaccharides of any significant quantity, or can not utilize oligosaccharides at all, and described oligosaccharides is as raffinose and stachyose.In the situation that raffinose and stachyose, although the transgenic alga strain (as described above) of expressing invertase can the alpha galactosides derivative of sucrose hydrolysis in α-key between fructose and glucose, but still can not utilize all the other oligosaccharides because invertase can not the described sugar of cracking in remaining α-key and the disaccharides of gained can not be utilized.The allogenic gene of the allogenic gene that in another embodiment, the former frustule of restructuring of the present invention comprises the encoding sucrose saccharase and coding alpha-galactosidase.Therefore, the algae strain of expressing invertase and alpha-galactosidase can the complete hydrolysis oligosaccharides, as raffinose and stachyose, thereby can consume constituent monomers.In addition, the alpha galactosides enzyme coding gene can be used as the selective marker transformed.The clone who contains exogenous alpha-galactosidase gene will have the ability of utilizing the melibiose growth.The example that is applicable to the alpha-galactosidase gene in the strain of former Trentepohlia algae comprises MEL1 gene from saccharomyces carlsbergensis (Saccharomyces carlbergensis), from the AglC gene of aspergillus niger (Aspergilus niger).What is interesting is, even use gene is optimized according to the preferred codon in the strain of former Trentepohlia algae, alpha-galactosidase gene that neither be all has function in former Trentepohlia species.Following examples show when the former frustule of transgenosis is transformed at the gene of the MEL1 from saccharomyces carlsbergensis that uses codon to optimize with from the AglC gene of aspergillus niger but not from the alpha galactosides enzyme coding gene of higher plant guar-bean (Cyamopsis tetragonobola/Guarbean) to utilize the melibiose growth.
3. the VitB1 auxotrophy supplements

In specific embodiments, the tapping point of controlling in metabolism is upward or downward to synthetic one or more key enzymes that carry out of lipid acid, to promote lipid production.Can be for example raise the enhancer element that for example utilizes strong promoter and/or make to transcribe increase in described expression construct make the to encode genetic expression of target enzyme by realizing with the expression construct transformant.Described construct can comprise selective marker, can transformant being selected, makes the expression level increase of construct amplification and coded enzyme.The example that is suitable for the enzyme that the method according to this invention raises comprises pyruvic oxidase, and at pyruvic acid, to playing a role during acetyl-CoA transforms, (example that derives from some enzymes of micro-algae comprises gene pool accession number NP_415392 for it; AAA53047; Q1XDM1; And CAF05587).The rise of pyruvic oxidase can increase the generation of acetyl-CoA, thereby and to increase lipid acid synthetic.The initial step that acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalysis lipid acid is synthetic.Therefore, can make this kind of enzyme raise, with the generation that increases lipid acid, (example that derives from some enzymes of micro-algae comprises gene pool accession number BAA94752; AAA75528; AAA81471; YP_537052; YP_536879; NP_045833; And BAA57908).Can also increase the generation of lipid acid by raising acyl carrier protein (ACP), described ACP delivers the acyl chain increased between synthesis phase (example that derives from some ACP of micro-algae comprises gene pool accession number A0T0F8 at lipid acid; P51280; NP_849041; YP_874433).The rate-limiting step that GPAT catalysis lipid acid is synthetic.(example that derives from some enzymes of micro-algae comprises gene pool accession number AAA74319 to make this kind of enzyme raise the generation that can increase lipid acid; AAA33122; AAA37647; P44857; And ABO94442).
The rise of gene and/or downward can be applied to controlling global regulation's factor that fatty acid biological synthesizes the genetic expression of path.Therefore, one or more global regulation's factors during lipid acid is synthetic can be upward or downward in due course, to suppress respectively or to strengthen expression the final generation that increases lipid of multiple lipid acid synthetic gene.Example comprises that the sterol regulatory element is in conjunction with albumen (SREBP), as SREBP-1a and SREBP-1c (for example, referring to gene pool accession number NP_035610 and Q9WTN3).
The present invention also provides recombinant microorganism (for example former frustule), described microorganism has contained the allogenic gene of one or more coding lipid-modified enzymes through modifying, described lipid-modified enzyme for example, as fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterase (U.S. leaf eucalyptus (C.callophylla) (SEQ ID NO:145 and SEQ ID NO:146; Also referring to table 4)), fatty acyl group-coenzyme A/aldehyde reductase (referring to table 6), fatty acyl group-CoA-reductase (referring to table 7), alkanoic decarbonylation base enzyme (referring to table 8), alkanoic reductase enzyme, desaturase be (for example, as stearyl--ACP desaturase (codon is optimized common species castor-oil plant (R.communis) SAD, SEQ ID NO:147 and SEQ ID NO:148) and fatty acyl group desaturase and squalene synthase (referring to gene pool accession number AF205791).In some embodiments, the gene of the acyl carrier protein of coding fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterase and natural coexpression optionally is transformed in former frustule together with one or more genes of other lipid-modified enzyme of coding.In other embodiments, ACP and fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterase has avidity mutually, this both one be used from microorganism of the present invention and method in the time give advantage, with them, in particular organization or organism, whether natural coexpression is irrelevant.Therefore, the natural coexpression pair of these enzymes has been contained in the present invention, and has avidity and interact with each other to facilitate from those enzymes of ACP cracking length specificity carbochain.
In other embodiment again, one or more genes of other lipid-modified enzyme that the allogenic gene of coding desaturase is modified the lipid saturation ratio together with coding for example are transformed into, in microorganism (former frustule).In other embodiments, the endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes for example, is crossed in microorganism (former frustule) and expressed (for example, via the other copy of introducing described gene).For example stearyl--ACP desaturase is (referring to for example gene pool accession number AAF15308; ABM45911; And AAY86086) catalysis stearyl--ACP changes into oleoyl-ACP.This gene is raised can increase the ratio of the monounsaturated fatty acids of cell generation; And downward can reduce the ratio of cholesterol material.For purposes of illustration, stearyl--ACP desaturase (SAD) is responsible for by the synthetic C18:1 lipid acid of C18:0 precursor.Another desaturase family is fatty acyl group desaturase (FAD), comprises δ-12 fatty acid desaturase (Δ 12FAD).These desaturases are also modified the lipid saturation ratio.For purposes of illustration, δ-12 fatty acid desaturase is responsible for by the synthetic C18:2 lipid acid of C18:1 precursor.Equally, can control the expression of one or more glyceride desaturases to change the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acid, described desaturase such as ω-6-fatty acid desaturase, omega-3-fatty acid desaturase or ω-6-oleate desaturase.In some embodiments, can select desaturase for required carbon chain lengths, so that desaturase can be in the substrate of specifying carbon chain lengths or had in the substrate of the carbon chain lengths in stated limit and carry out the location specific modification.In another embodiment; if required lipid acid kenel is cholesterol grease (as C16:1 and/or C18:1), increase, can make so SAD cross to express or heterology SAD express combine make fatty acyl group desaturase (FAD) silence or inactivation (such as via sudden change, RNAi, knock out endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes etc.).
In other embodiments, microorganism (for example former frustule) has saltant type endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes through modifying, and wherein said sudden change makes described gene or desaturase non-activity.In some cases, described saltant type endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes is fatty acid desaturase (FAD).In other cases, described saltant type endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes is stearyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (SAD).Following examples 11 have been described target and have been removed or knocked out stearyl--ACP desaturase and δ-12 fatty acid desaturase.
In some cases, one or more genetically engineered technology cooperations are favourable in order to obtain the transgenic cell that produces required lipid kenel.In one embodiment, microorganism (for example former frustule) comprises saltant type endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes and one or more allogenic genes.In non-limiting example, the former frustule with saltant type endogenous delta 8 desaturase genes can also be expressed ectogenous fat fatty acyl-acp thioesterase gene and/or invertase gene.Following examples 11 have been described endogenous SAD and through target, have been removed or knocked out and express the former frustule of transgenosis of camphor tree C14 type of priority thioesterase and invertase.In this case, the lipid kenel that the former frustule of described transgenosis produces is very approaching with the lipid kenel arrived seen in Tallow, beef.Tallow, beef stems from beef fat or the suet fat refined usually, is at room temperature solid and is used in the multiple application of food, makeup and chemical industry aspect.The lipid acid kenel of Tallow, beef is: C14:0 accounts for 4%; C16:0 accounts for 26%; C16:1 accounts for 3%; C18:0 accounts for 14%; C18:1 accounts for 41%; C18:2 accounts for 3%; And C18:3 accounts for 1%.As shown in following examples 11, endogenous SAD had removed or knocked out and express the former frustule of transgenosis of camphor tree C14 type of priority thioesterase clone through target has following lipid kenel: the shorter lipid acid of C12 and carbon chain lengths accounts for and is less than 1%; C14:0 accounts for 2.74% to 6.13%; C16:0 accounts for 23.07% to 25.69%; C18:0 accounts for 7.02% to 11.08%; C18:1 accounts for 42.03% to 51.21%; And C18:2 accounted for for 9.37% to 13.45% (meaning with the area percentage form).In some cases, the former frustule of transgenosis has following lipid kenel: C14:0 accounts for 3%-5%; C16:0 accounts for 25%-27%; C18:0 accounts for 10%-15%; And C18:1 accounts for 40%-45%.
Therefore; in specific embodiments; to microorganism of the present invention, carry out genetically engineered so that it expresses one or more allogenic genes, described allogenic gene is selected from the acyl carrier protein of fatty acyl-acp thioesterase, acyl group-coenzyme A/aldehyde reductase, fatty acyl group-CoA-reductase, alkanoic reductase enzyme, alkanoic decarbonylation base enzyme or natural coexpression.Suitable expression method is described in above about the expression of lipase gene, and described method especially comprises inducible expression and compartmentation expression.Fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterase during lipid synthesis from acyl carrier protein (ACP) cracking lipid acid.By further enzymatic processing, then the lipid acid of institute's cracking combine with coenzyme, to produce acyl group-coenzyme A molecule.This acyl group-coenzyme A is the substrate (generation aldehyde) of the enzymic activity of fatty acyl group-CoA-reductase and the substrate of fatty acyl group-coenzyme A/aldehyde reductase (producing alcohol).The aldehyde that the fatty acyl group of above identifying-CoA-reductase effect produces is further substrate (producing alcohol) or the substrate of the enzymic activity of alkanoic decarbonylation base enzyme (producing alkane or alkene) of the enzymic activity of alkanoic reductase enzyme.
In some embodiments, the lipid acid produced by method as herein described, glyceride or corresponding primary alconol, aldehyde, alkane or alkene contain 8,10,12 or 14 carbon atoms.The corresponding primary alconol, aldehyde, alkane and the alkene that are preferred for producing the lipid acid of diesel oil, biofuel, renewable diesel or rocket engine fuel or are applied in industry contain 8 to 14 carbon atoms.In certain embodiments, above-mentioned lipid acid and other corresponding hydrocarbon molecule are saturated (there is no carbon-to-carbon double bond or triple bond); Monounsaturated (single pair of key); Polyunsaturated (two or more pair of key); Straight chain (not being ring-type) or side chain.For fuel production, preferred larger saturation ratio.
Enzyme mentioned above has the specificity of the substrate of the carbon atom that selective hydrolysis contains given number.For instance, fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterase can have the lipid acid of 12 carbon atoms from the preferential cracking of ACP.In some embodiments, ACP and length specificity thioesterase have avidity mutually, make them be particularly suitable for using (for example exogenous ACP and thioesterase gene can in the particular organization that produces them or organism natural coexpression) with array configuration.Therefore; in various embodiments; the former frustule of restructuring of the present invention can contain allogenic gene; described allogenic gene coding have for contained carbon atom number katalaze enzyme in substrate active (for example from the ACP cracking lipid acid, acyl group-coenzyme A reductase is become to aldehyde or alcohol, or aldehyde is changed into to alkane) specific protein.In various embodiments, enzyme spcificity can be for having 8 to 34 carbon atoms, 8 to 18 carbon atoms preferably, and 8 substrates to 14 carbon atoms more preferably.Preferably specificity is for having the still less substrate of (12) rather than more (18) carbon atom.
Be applicable to other fatty acyl group in microorganism of the present invention and method-ACP thioesterase and include but not limited to list in the thioesterase in table 4.

Following examples have been described from the spire calyx apart from flower, California bay, camphor tree, wetland calyx apart from flower, the lanceolata calyx is apart from the allos fatty acyl group of flower, Iris germanica, Semen Myristicae and white elm-successful target and the expression of ACP thioesterase in former Trentepohlia species.In addition, in the host cell of these allos fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterases of confirmation expression, the lipid acid kenel changes.Owing in general between algae thioesterase and higher plant thioesterase and between the former algae fatty acyl group of mulberry fruit shape-ACP thioesterase and allos fatty acyl group listed above-ACP thioesterase, lacking sequence identity, so these results are very unexpected.As shown in embodiment, these heterology thioesterase expression in former algae can produce the Transgenic Microalgae that can produce oils/lipid, oils/the lipid produced has in fact unique lipid acid kenel, described lipid acid kenel fails, by commercially available seed crop, even via blend multiple seed crop oils, to obtain at present.Table 5 has been showed the lipid acid kenel of common commercially available seed oils.Below the data of all commercially available seed oils all collect from American Pharmacopeia food and chemical code (USPharmacopeias Food and Chemicals Codes, 2010-2011 the 7th edition).The Tallow, beef data come from national research council: the lipid content of animal product and composition (National Research Council:Fat Content and Composition of AnimalProducts) (1976).

For instance, there is no a kind of C8 that contains higher amount or C10 lipid acid in the middle of these common seed oils, wherein Oleum Cocois and palm-kernel oil are maximum sources, but the ratio that both have is 1: 1 (C8: C10 lipid acid).As shown in embodiment, the former algae transformed apart from flower C:8 type of priority thioesterase through the over-wet land calyx not only can reach the C8 fatty acid levels that surpasses 12%, and can also reach the approximately C8 of 5: 1: the C10 fatty acid rate.The change of fatty acid levels aspect can be for the production of the oils for multiple commercial applications that contains the tailored fatty acid kenel.In addition, the change of the ratio between different fatty acid chain lengths can not commercially obtain in the oils of not passing through further expensive chemical process (as esterification, distillation, fractionation and resterification).As another example, plam oil is the oils of the C16:0 lipid acid (32% to 47%) that contains high-content, but plam oil is hardly containing C14:0 lipid acid.The former algae that contains the white elm thioesterase reaches approximately 33% to 38% C16:0 lipid acid and about 10% to 16% C14:0 lipid acid (ratio of C16:0 and C14:0 is approximately 2: 1).This lipid acid kenel is to reach via the existing oils of blend on business level, and this is usually to contain less 14:0 lipid acid because be rich in the seed oils of 16:0 lipid acid.
Following examples have also been described at least two kinds of fatty acyl group-ACP thioesterase successful target and expression in a clone first.Determine the variation of lipid acid kenel in these clones and depend on which two kinds of thioesterase coexpression, in a clone, affects the lipid acid kenel in a different manner.For instance, from see in table 5, the C12 of Oleum Cocois and palm-kernel oil: the C14 ratio is about 3: 1.Described in following examples, the former algae transformant that contains two kinds of heterology thioesterase genes can produce the C12 that ratio is about 5: 1: the C14 fatty acid levels.This C12: up to the present the C14 fatty acid rate can not (via the blend seed oils) reach on business level.
Another novel aspect of the oils produced by Transgenic Microalgae is the saturation ratio of lipid acid.Plam oil is the largest source of saturated oil at present, wherein total saturate: unsaturated materials is 52%: 48%.As shown in following examples, have in the oils that the former algae from the heterology thioesterase of white elm and camphor tree produces at it and reach the total saturation ratio that surpasses 60%.Same as following examples as shown in, have in the oils that the former algae from the heterology thioesterase of white elm produces at it and reach the total saturation ratio over 86%.

Owing to can obtaining recyclable organism initial substance and its purposes that can replace the initial substance that is derived from fossil oil, be desirable, so growing interest is to the purposes of hydrocarbon component in fuel (as biofuel, renewable diesel and rocket engine fuel) of biogenetic derivation.In the urgent need to produced the method for hydrocarbon component by biomaterial.The present invention has met this needs, and it is to utilize the lipid that produced by method as herein described to produce thing diesel oil, renewable diesel and rocket engine fuel next life as biomaterial to realize with the method for production biofuel, renewable diesel and rocket engine fuel by providing.
Traditional diesel oil fuel is the petroleum distillate that is rich in paraffinic hydrocarbon.They have the wide boiling spread of 370 ℉ to 780 ℉, are applicable to burning in self-igniton engine (as diesel-engine vehicles).U.S.'s test has been set up the diesel oil rank with materialogy meeting (American Society of Testing and Materials, ASTM) according to the tolerable limit of boiling spread and other fuel characteristic (as cetane value, cloud point, burning-point, viscosity, aniline point, sulphur content, water-content, ash content, copper strip corrosion degree and breeze).Meet suitable ASTM standard and derive from biomass or any hydrocarbon overhead product material of other material academicly can be defined as diesel oil fuel (ASTM D975), rocket engine fuel (ASTM D1655), or biofuel (ASTMD6751) (if it is fatty acid methyl ester).
After extraction, can carry out chemical treatment to the lipid and/or the hydrocarbon component that reclaim from microbial biomass as herein described, to produce the fuel for diesel vehicle and jet engine.
Biofuel is the liquid that a kind of color changes between gold and dark-brown, and this depends on raw materials for production.It in fact with the water unmixing, there is high boiling point and low-vapor pressure.Biofuel refers to the fabricate fuel be equal to diesel oil, can be for diesel-engine vehicles.Biofuel is biodegradable and nontoxic.The other benefit that biofuel is better than conventional diesel oil fuel is that engine scuffing is lower.Biofuel comprises the C14-C18 alkyl ester usually.The whole bag of tricks makes the biomass of generation as described herein separation or lipid change into diesel oil fuel.The preferred method of production biofuel is by lipid as herein described is carried out to transesterification.Preferred alkyl ester as biofuel is methyl esters or ethyl ester.
The biofuel of being produced by method as herein described can be used separately with any concentration or use with conventional diesel oil fuel blend in most of modern diesel engines vehicles.When with conventional diesel oil fuel (petrifaction diesel) blend, biofuel can exist has an appointment 0.1% to approximately 99.9%.Most places is used the system that is called " B " factor to mean the amount of biofuel in any fuel mixture in the world.The fuel that for instance, will contain 20% biofuel is labeled as B20.Pure biofuel is called as B100.
Biofuel can also be used as heating fuel in family expenses and commercial boiler.Existing oil-firing boiler may contain rubber components, and may need to be changed so that it utilizes the biofuel running.This switching process is usually relatively simple, comprises and changes rubber components into compound component, because biofuel is strong solvent.Due to the strong solvent effect of biofuel, so the burning biofuel will increase the efficiency of boiler.Biofuel can be used as the additive of diesel formulation, and to increase the oilness of pure ultra-low-sulphur diesel (ULSD) fuel, this is favourable, because biofuel sulfur-bearing hardly.With petrifaction diesel, compare, biofuel is solvent preferably, and can be used to decompose the resistates settling in the motor vehicle fuel pipe that had before utilized the petrifaction diesel running.
Can be by the transesterification production biofuel of the triglyceride level that contains in the biomass that are rich in oils.Therefore, in another aspect of the present invention, provide the method for production biofuel.The method of production biofuel in a preferred embodiment, comprises the following steps: (a) utilize method disclosed herein to cultivate the microorganism that contains lipid; (b) make the biosolubilization that contains lipid, to produce molten born of the same parents' thing; (c) separate lipid from the microorganism of having dissolved; And (d) make lipid composition carry out transesterify, thereby produce biofuel.The method that makes microorganism growth has above been described, make biosolubilization with the method that produces molten born of the same parents' thing, process molten born of the same parents' thing with the method that forms heterogeneous mixture in comprising the medium of organic solvent and make treated molten born of the same parents' thing be separated into the method for lipid composition, and these methods also can the method for the production of biofuel in.
The lipid kenel of biofuel is common and lipid kenel height raw material oils is similar.Can carry out transesterification to other oils provided by method and composition of the present invention, to produce biofuel, the lipid kenel of described biofuel comprises: (a) C8-C14 accounts at least 1%-5%, preferably accounts at least 4%; (b) C8 accounts at least 0.25%-1%, preferably accounts at least 0.3%; (c) C10 accounts at least 1%-5%, preferably accounts at least 2%; (d) C12 accounts at least 1%-5%, preferably accounts at least 2%; And (3) C8-C14 accounts at least 20%-40%, preferably account at least 30%.
Can carry out transesterification to lipid composition, to produce the long chain fatty acid ester as biofuel.Preferred transesterification is summarized in hereinafter, and comprises the transesterification of base catalysis and the transesterification that utilizes recombination lipoidase to carry out.In the transesterification method of base catalysis, under basic catalyst (normally potassium hydroxide) exists, the triacylglycerol ester is reacted with alcohol (as methyl alcohol or ethanol).This reaction forms methyl esters or ethyl ester, and as the glycerol (glycerine) of by product.
Animal oil and vegetables oil are made by triglyceride level usually, and described triglyceride level is the ester that free fatty acids and trivalent alcohol (glycerine) form.In transesterification, the glycerine in triacylglycerol ester (TAG) is replaced by short chain alcohol (as methyl alcohol or ethanol).Typical reaction scheme is as follows:
Figure BDA00002783655201081
In this reaction, make pure deprotonation with alkali, so that it becomes stronger nucleophilic reagent.Usually excessive (up to 50 times) are used ethanol or methyl alcohol.What general this reaction was carried out does not carry out very slowly or fully.Can use heat and acid or alkali to help reaction carries out quickly.Transesterification can consumption acids or alkali, so they are not reactant but catalyzer.Nearly all biofuel all utilizes the base catalysis technology to produce, because this technology only needs low temperature and low pressure, and can produce the conversion yield (condition is that moisture and the free fatty acids in initial oils is less) that surpasses 98%.
As described above, can also utilize enzyme (as lipase) but not alkali carries out transesterification.For example can be at the temperature between room temperature and 80 ℃ and be greater than 1: 1 in the mol ratio of TAG and lower alcohol, preferably approximately carry out the transesterification of Lipase catalysis in the situation of 3: 1.The lipase that is applicable to transesterification includes but not limited to list in the lipase in table 9.Other lipase example that is applicable to transesterification sees for example United States Patent (USP) the 4th, and 798, No. 793, the 4th, 940, No. 845, the 5th, 156, No. 963, the 5th, 342, No. 768, the 5th, 776, No. 741 and No. WO89/01032.These lipase include but not limited to lipase and the steapsin by the microorganisms of Rhizopus (Rhizopus), Aspergillus (Aspergillus), mycocandida (Candida), Mucor (Mucor), Rhodopseudomonas (Pseudomonas), Rhizomucor (Rhizomucor), mycocandida (Candida) and humic Pseudomonas (Humicola).
Table 9. is applicable to the lipase of transesterification.
The price that a challenge that utilizes lipase production to be applicable to the fatty acid ester in biofuel is lipase is far away higher than the price of the sodium hydroxide used in strong alkali method (NaOH).Utilized can recirculation immobilized lipase deal with this challenge.Yet the necessary activity that keeps immobilized lipase after the recovery circulation of carrying out minimum number, so that the method based on lipase can be competed with strong alkali method aspect production cost.The lower alcohol be generally used in transesterification is harmful to immobilized lipase.United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 398, No. 707 (giving Wu etc. on June 4th, 2002) described the method for the immobilized lipase regeneration that strengthens the active of immobilized lipase and make activity decreased.Some suitable methods comprise soaks for some time by immobilized lipase in carbonatoms is no less than 3 alcohol, and preferably 0.5 hour-48 hours, and more preferably 0.5 hour-1.5 hours.Some suitable methods also comprise that being no less than 3 alcohol with carbonatoms is washed the immobilized lipase of inactivation, then soaks the immobilized lipase of inactivation 0.5 hour-48 hours in vegetables oil.

Embodiment 7: the homologous recombination in former Trentepohlia species
Genetically modified homologous recombination has multiple advantage.At first, it is uncertain not utilizing homologous recombination and transgenosis is introduced, because can not control the number of the plasmid copy of introducing in cell.In addition, it is unsettled not utilizing homologous recombination and transgenosis is introduced, because plasmid may keep unbound state and lose in fission process subsequently.Another advantage of homologous recombination is " to knock out " target gene, introduces epitope tag, changes the promotor of endogenous gene and changes in addition target gene (for example introducing point mutation).
Utilize the genomic specific region of the former algae of mulberry fruit shape (UTEX 1435) of called after KE858 to build two carriers.KE858 is a 1.3kb genomic fragment, and it comprises a part that has the protein coding region of homology with transfer RNA (tRNA) (tRNA) family of protein.The southern blotting technique method has showed that there is single copy in the KE858 sequence in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape (UTEX 1435) genome.Build the carrier of the first type, by its called after SZ725 (SEQ ID NO:179), it is cloned in the pUC19 carrier framework and is formed by whole 1.3kb KE858 fragment, and described pUC19 carrier framework also contains yeast invertase (suc2) gene through optimizing.The KE858 fragment contains unique ,Gai site, SnaB1 site and is not present on any position in the target construct.Build the carrier of the second type, by its called after SZ726 (SEQ IDNO:180), its KE858 sequence be damaged by the insertion yeast invertase gene of the SnaB1 site by the KE858 genome sequence (suc2) forms.The EcoRI digestion that can be cut by being used in two ends, KE858 zone will contain the whole DNA fragmentation excision of the KE858 sequence of side joint yeast invertase gene from carrier framework.
Use these two carriers that the direct homologous recombination of yeast invertase gene (suc2) is arrived in the former algae of the mulberry fruit shape corresponding KE858 of (UTEX 1435) genome zone.By with SnaB1 digested vector construct SZ725 and with EcoRI digested vector construct SZ726, making the linear DNA end restructuring with the genome area homology of homologous recombination institute target.Then utilize aforesaid method to be incorporated in the former algae culture of mulberry fruit shape through the vector construction body of digestion.Then utilize the sucrose culture plate to be selected the transformant of each vector construction body.To by each carrier, transformed 10 of producing independent, pure clone's property transformant carries out about successfully the recombinate analysis (utilizing the southern blotting technique method) of required genome position and about the analysis of Stability of Transgenic of yeast invertase gene.
Southern blotting technique analysis that the SZ725 transformant is carried out shows, the restructuring band that 10 transformant for analyzing of selecting have 4 transformant to contain prediction shows generation single exchange event between KE858 sequence in carrier and the KE858 sequence in genome.On the contrary, all 10 SZ726 transformant all contain the restructuring band of prediction, show with in the EcoRI fragment of the pSZ726 of the genetically modified KE858 sequence of side joint yeast invertase and genome, between corresponding KE858 zone, dual exchange event occurring.
By making transformant, in the situation that do not selected growth to surpass for 15 generations, expression and the genetically modified stability of invertase are assessed.4 SZ725 transformant and 10 SZ276 transformant of transgenic positive are shown in selection by the southern blotting technique Faxian, and 48 single groups of each transformant are grown continuously: at first in the situation that do not selected to grow in containing the substratum of glucose, then in the situation that selected to grow in containing the substratum of sucrose as sole carbon source.All 10 SZ276 transformant (100%) all keep its ability of utilizing the sucrose growth after 15 generations, and approximately 97% SZ725 transformant keeps it to utilize the ability of sucrose growth after 15 generations.The transgenosis (SZ726 carrier) of introducing by dual exchange event has high stability in going down to posterity.On the contrary, the transgenosis (SZ725 carrier) of introducing by the single exchange event is in the certain unstable of middle demonstration that goes down to posterity, because what introduce is genetically modified tandem copy, the genetically modified repetition homology of side joint zone may occur to recombinate and excise the transgenosis DNA between it.
These experiments show, have successfully utilized homologous recombination to prepare and have contained the former algae transformant of stable integration to the allos invertase gene in organism nuclear staining body.Successfully carry out homologous recombination and make it possible to occur other genome variation in former algae, comprise genetically deficient, point mutation and make required gene product with epitope tag.These experiments also disclose the system of carrying out homologous recombination in the micro-algae nuclear gene of eucaryon group first.
Utilize homologous recombination to knock out the former algae gene of endogenous mulberry fruit shape: in the screening of the former algae cDNA/ of mulberry fruit shape genome (as above in the screening described in embodiment 4), to identify endogenous stearyl--ACP desaturase (SAPD) cDNA.Stearyl--ACP desaturase is the part of lipid synthesis path, and their function is that two keys are incorporated in fatty acyl chain.In some cases, in order to change the lipid acid kenel, it is favourable knocking out the lipid pathway enzyme or reducing its expression.Prepare the homologous recombination construction body, with the expression of assessing endogenous stearyl--ACP desaturase, whether reduce (or knocking out) and whether can observe the corresponding minimizing of unsaturated fatty acids in host cell lipid kenel.Identify the approximately 1.5kb encoding sequence of stearyl-in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape (UTEX 1435)-ACP delta 8 desaturase genes and it is cloned to (SEQID NO:181).Build the homologous recombination construction body with the SAPD encoding sequence (5 ' end target site) of 0.5kb on 5 ' end, described SAPD encoding sequence back is the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii beta-tubulin promoter, the yeast invertase suc2 gene that the codon that described promoters driven contains Chlorella vulgaris 3 ' UTR is optimized.Then the former algae SAPD of (about 1kb) the mulberry fruit shape encoding sequence of remainder is inserted into to Chlorella vulgaris 3 ' UTR back, to produce 3 ' end target site.The sequence of this homologous recombination box is listed in SEQ ID NO:182.As implied above, thus can make ends exposed increase the success ratio of homologous recombination box in being incorporated into the nuclear gene group by made the linearizing of homologous recombination box before transforming micro-algae.Make the homologous recombination box linearizing of endogenous SAPD enzyme in the former algae of target mulberry fruit shape, then be transformed in host cell (the former algae of mulberry fruit shape, UTEX 1435).Successful integration can be removed endogenous SAPD enzyme coding region by dual mutual recombination event from host genome, and the expression of the new suc2 gene inserted can be subject to the adjusting of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii beta-tubulin promoter.Utilization contains sucrose and as the culture plate/substratum of sole carbon source, resulting clone is screened.The clone that the homologous recombination box is successfully integrated can utilize sucrose to grow as sole carbon source, and using the variation of the overall saturation ratio of lipid acid in the lipid kenel as less important definite factor.In addition, can also measure by southern blotting technique existence and expression that (utilizing yeast invertase suc2 gene-specific probe) and RT-PCR determine invertase gene in positive colony.Perhaps, the coding region that can excise endogenous SAPD enzyme with the identical construct that does not contain beta-tubulin promoter.In this case, the new yeast invertase suc2 gene inserted can be regulated by endogenous SAPD promotor/5 ' UTR.

The group of transcribing of eight supposition property promotor/5 ' UTR of table 18. is expressed kenel.
Figure BDA00002783655201662
From the result of above summing up, multiple transcript demonstrates passes cumulative rises in time, but what is interesting is, sulfite reductase mRNA demonstrates the unique mRNA of passing in time accumulation to be reduced.
These eight supposition property promotor/5 ' UTR districts are cloned in to the camphor tree thioesterase upstream of coding region that primary transit peptides is removed and replace with the transit peptides of original chlorella (UTEX 250) stearyl--ACP desaturase.By homologous recombination, utilize the DNA of the genome sequence of 6S rRNA that each supposition property promotor/5 ' UTR district construct is incorporated in the former algae UTEX1435 of mulberry fruit shape.In construct, also contain from the suc2 invertase gene of yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae to select positive colony containing on the substratum/culture plate of sucrose.The cDNA sequence of the relevant portion of the construct of Aat01 is classified SEQ ID NO:67 as in sequence table.For other construct, use identical skeleton, unique variable be supposition property promotor/5 ' UTR sequence.Prepare another contrast transgenic alga strain, wherein use the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii beta-tubulin promoter to drive the camphor tree thioesterase gene to express.Show, this promoters driven target gene carries out constitutive expression, and therefore the useful contrast of measuring identical thioesterase courier's expression when the various supposition nitrogen adjustment type promotors by tested/5 ' UTR drives is provided.
After producing transgene clone, carry out three independent experiments.The potential nitrogen controllability of all eight supposition property promotors is assessed in the first two experiment by the ammonia level in thioesterase mRNA level, measurement lipid acid kenel and the culture supernatants of utilizing RT-PCR Measurement sensibility state.Make to be cloned in the seed cell substratum (1g/L ammonium nitrate-15mM nitrogen (in ammonia), 4g/L yeast extract) that is rich in nitrogen under vibration (200rpm) at first under 28 ℃ and grow 24 hours to 48 hours, now use (the A of 20OD unit 750) the low nitrogen substratum (0.2g/L ammonium sulfate-3mM nitrogen (in ammonia), 0.2g/L yeast extract) of inoculation 50ml.Cell was sampled in every 24 hours in 6 days, and collected sample when being about to low nitrogen condition conversion.Then use a part of cell in each sample to utilize Trizol reagent (according to the method for manufacturers's suggestion) to carry out total RNA extraction.Ammonia measure be disclosed in low nitrogen substratum the ammonia level in supernatant liquor after 24 hours lower than limit of detection (approximately 100 μ M).

At first with computer simulation mode, by Partial cDNA Sequence and Roche 454 genomic dnas assemblings as described above and Illumina being transcribed to group, assemble and carry out the sequence Local Alignment and produce promotor/5 ' UTR.Identify the transcript contig with the cDNA display consistency of the amt01 that encodes, amt02 and amt03, yet the transcript contig can not distinguish three mRNA, this is because contig contains all three sequences that mRNA is common.Roche 454 genomic dnas assemblings are hit for amt02 and amt03cDNA sequence and are contained N end protein matter sequence.Carry out PCR to clone 5 ' end flank region.For the PCR primer of verifying clone amt02 and amt03 promotor/UTR, be:
The Amt03 forward primer: 5 '-GGAGGAATTCGGCCGACAGGACGCGCGTCA-3 ' (SEQ ID NO:85)
The Amt03 reverse primer: 5 '-GGAGACTAGTGGCTGCGACCGGCCTGTG-3 ' (SEQ ID NO:86)
The Amt02 forward primer: 5 '-GGAGGAATTCTCACCAGCGGACAAAGCACCG-3 ' (SEQ ID NO:87)
The Amt02 reverse primer: 5 '-GGAGACTAGTGGCTGCGACCGGCCTCTGG-3 ' (SEQ ID NO:88)
In both cases, 5 ' end and 3 ' end primer contains and can be used for expecting the restriction site that is cloned in expression vector the function to verify these promotors/5 ' UTR district.
Fit at the computer mould by this associating between method clone's the initial cDNA of DNA and encode amt02 (SEQ ID NO:61) and amt03 (SEQ ID NO:60) of PCR-based and compare in pairs.The result of these comparisons shows initial cDNA and, through between the genome sequence of cloning, having significant difference, means that ammonium transporter likely represents different gene families.In addition, the promotor of the method based on associating of amt03/5 ' UTR clone is different from initial amt03 sequence, and the amt02 sequence is identical.Carry out further experiment to characterize amt03 promotor/UTR sequence (SEQ ID NO:89) and to be described in hereinafter.
The amt03 promotor above identified/UTR sequence (SEQ ID NO:89) is by cloning this supposition property promotor/UTR sequence to drive four kinds of different thioesterases to express to test.The homologous recombination sequence that expression cassette contains genomic 6S locus upstream and downstream (being respectively SEQ ID NO:82 and 84).Expression cassette also contains Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in S UC2 invertase cDNA can in containing the substratum of sucrose, positive colony being selected.The sucrose inversion expression of enzymes be by the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii beta-tubulin promoter, driven and contain Chlorella vulgaris nitrate reductase 3 ' UTR.Then by amt03 promotor/UTR sequence clone to invertase box downstream, back is thioesterase cDNA sequence in the frame of a kind of thioesterase gene in following four kinds of thioesterase genes: (1) is from the C14 thioesterase of camphor tree; (2) from the C12 thioesterase of California bay; (3) from the C10-C16 thioesterase of white elm; Or (4) from the spire calyx apart from the flower the C10 thioesterase; And contain Chlorella vulgaris nitrate reductase 3 ' UTR.C14 camphor tree thioesterase, C12 California bay thioesterase and C10-C16 white elm thioesterase all contain the transit peptides of original chlorella stearyl--ACP desaturase.The transit peptides that C10 spire calyx contains the former algae δ-12 of mulberry fruit shape fatty acid desaturase (FAD) apart from the flower thioesterase.In all cases, the optimization of sequence codon to express in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape.The sequence description of above-mentioned thioesterase construct is in sequence table:

B. the THIC gene supplements the VitB1 auxotrophy in former algae
Utilize the expression of exogenous THIC gene to study the VitB1 prototrophy of the former frustule of mulberry fruit shape.In plant and algae, the VitB1 biosynthesizing is carried out usually in plastid, and the most of core coded protein that therefore participates in its generation needs target plastid effectively.The former frustule of mulberry fruit shape is carried out DNA sequencing and transcribes the group order-checking and disclose, and except THIC, all genes of coding VitB1 biosynthetic enzyme all are present in genome.In order on the biological chemistry aspect, to dissect and to cause the auxotrophic dysfunction of VitB1, the growth of the research former frustule of mulberry fruit shape under following five kinds of different conditions: (1) is under 2 μ M vitamins exist; (2) there do not is VitB1; (3) there do not is VitB1, but have 2 μ M hydroxy ethylthiazoles (THZ); (4) there do not is VitB1, but have 2 μ M 2-methyl-4-amino-5-(aminomethyl) pyrimidine (PYR); And there is not VitB1 in (5), but there are 2 μ M THZ and 2 μ M PYR.The result of the growth experiment carried out under these 5 kinds of different conditions shows, the former frustule of mulberry fruit shape can de novo synthesis, but only in the situation that provide the PYR precursor to produce diphosphothiamine (TPP).This result is consistent with following hypothesis: the auxotrophic reason of VitB1 of the former algae of mulberry fruit shape is can not be from the synthetic oxymethylpyrimidine phosphoric acid (HMP-P) of aminoimidazole ribonucleotide, and this synthesizing is by the enzymatic conversion of THIC.
Utilize and above in the via Particle Bombardment Transformation method described in embodiment 2, the former frustule of mulberry fruit shape is transformed, so that it expresses glueballs algae C-169THIC (aminoacid sequence corresponding to JGI protein identification numbers 30481, and be incorporated to by reference this paper at this) and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in S UC2 invertase (as selective marker).The upstream and downstream homologous recombination target sequence in the primary transit peptide sequence that this expression construct contains glueballs algae C-169THIC, the 6S zone of genomic dna, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii TUB2 promotor/5 ' UTR district (SEQ ID NO:104) and Chlorella vulgaris nitrate reductase 3 ' UTR (SEQ ID NO:115).Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in S UC2 expresses and to be driven by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii TUB2 promotor/5 ' UTR district (SEQ ID NO:114) equally and to contain Chlorella vulgaris nitrate reductase 3 ' UTR (SEQ ID NO:115).According to the preferential codon in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape, make for optimized gene.Correlated expression box sequence is listed in sequence table and is specified in hereinafter:
Figure BDA00002783655201851
Containing VitB1, do not containing on the culture plate of sucrose as sole carbon source positive colony is being selected.Utilize PCR, be incorporated into glueballs algae C-169 THIC intragenic 5 ' end primer and the 3 ' end primer that annealed in the transfering DNA downstream on the 6S locus determine positive colony.Also utilize southern blotting technique to measure and determine definite positive colony through PCR.
In order to observe the VitB1 auxotrophy of the former frustule of wild-type mulberry fruit shape, need at first consume the inside VitB1 deposit of cell.In order to test the growth in not containing the substratum of VitB1, at first make cell grow into stationary phase in the substratum that contains 2 μ M VitB1s, then cell is not being reached approximately till 0.05 containing being diluted to optical density (OD) (OD750) under 750nm in the substratum of VitB1.And then make containing in the substratum of VitB1, do not growing into stationary phase (approximately 2 days to 3 days) through the cell of dilution.Use these cell inoculation culture things that lack VitB1 containing in the substratum of VitB1, not carry out increment study.The positive colony that wild-type cell is grown in containing the substratum of glucose as carbon source (contain or containing VitB1) and make to have primary transit peptides glueballs algae C-169THIC construct is grown in containing the substratum of sucrose as sole carbon source.Absorbancy by monitoring under 750nm is measured growth.The result demonstration of growth experiment, the extent of growth of algae strain in the substratum without VitB1 of express transgenic significantly is greater than the growth of wild-type cell in the substratum without VitB1.Yet transformant could not reach growth velocity and the cell density of wild-type cell in containing the substratum of VitB1.Transformant is cloned between the copy number without the glueballs algae enzyme of the increment in the substratum of VitB1 and process integration and also has strong correlation (be that genetically modified copy number is larger, the growth of cell in the substratum without VitB1 is better).
The expression construct that utilization contains glueballs algae THIC, Arabidopis thaliana THIC gene and synechocystis PCC6803thiC gene produces other transformant.In the situation that glueballs algae and Arabidopis thaliana THIC gene are replaced primary transit peptide sequence with the transit peptide sequence of original chlorella stearyl--ACP desaturase (SAD) gene.Synechocystis is that cyanobacteria and thiC protein do not contain primary transit peptide sequence.In synechocystis thiC construct, the transit peptide sequence of original chlorella SAD gene is fused on the N end of synechocystis thiC.In all cases, the optimization of sequence codon to express in the former algae of mulberry fruit shape.All three above-mentioned constructs all contain upstream and downstream homologous recombination target sequence (SEQID NO:82 and 84), original chlorella actin promoter/5 ' UTR and the original chlorella EF1A gene 3 ' UTR in genomic 6S zone.All three constructs all contain the neoR gene driven by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii TUB2 promotor/5 ' UTR (SEQ ID NO:114) and contain Chlorella vulgaris 3 ' UTR (SEQ ID NO:115) (can be selected by G418).The aminoacid sequence of Arabidopis thaliana THIC is corresponding to NCBI accession number NP_180524, and the aminoacid sequence of synechocystis thiC is corresponding to NCBI accession number NP_442586, and two sequences are incorporated to this paper by reference at this.Correlated expression box sequence is listed in sequence table and is specified in hereinafter:

In containing the substratum of G418, utilize process selection and definite positive colony of the transformant of variant construct to carry out the growth experiment (as described above) that the cell to lacking VitB1 carries out.All transformant all can grow in the substratum without VitB1 (stable degree difference).Growth in the substratum that growth by transformant in the substratum without VitB1 and wild-type cell are containing VitB1 compares demonstration, and the ability that maintains growth with regard to them in the substratum without VitB1 is arranged as follows: (1) transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana body; (2) glueballs algae C-169 (thering is original chlorella transit peptides) transformant; And (3) synechocystis transformant.These results show, although single Arabidopis thaliana THIC copy can supplement the VitB1 auxotrophy of the former frustule of mulberry fruit shape, a plurality of copies of glueballs algae C-169 (transit peptide sequence with primary transit peptide sequence or original chlorella) and synechocystis THIC are for can be in the situation that do not exist the VitB1 ramp required.In view of the mutability of the result of the different THIC from different sources, can not predict that any specific T HIC gene can supplement the ability of the dysfunction existed in former Trentepohlia species fully.
Three THIC aminoacid sequences are compared.Although have significant sequence conservation (41% consistence is arranged on the amino acid aspect) between the THIC of the thiC of synechocystis and glueballs algae and Arabidopis thaliana, lacked on the N end structural domain very conservative in algae and plant protein in cyanobacteria protein.Although lack described structural domain (and may cause textural difference), the construct of expressing synechocystis thiC still can recover the VitB1 prototrophy of the former frustule of mulberry fruit shape at least in part.

Embodiment 14: produce tailor-made oil
Utilize the various tailor-made oils of method disclosed herein and material production.Table 32 shows the gene pool accession number of algae strain, the gene of giving phenotype and gene, and by shown in the various lipid acid kenels that produce of algae strain.Algae strain A and B are the former algae of mulberry fruit shape (UTEX 1435) algae strains, by the laboratory of charge, the two are carried out traditionally to mutagenic treatment to improve oily productive rate.Then the DNA construct that use as described herein is suitable is to algae strain A and B carries out genetically engineered so that it expresses required gene.As shown, also the algae strain is carried out engineered so that endogenous desaturase inactivation.The nucleotide sequence of thioesterase is carried out codon optimized so that its expression and uses it in former algae.
The lipid acid kenel through the engineered former algae of wild-type is not shown in the first row of table 32.Can see, in different algae strains, make in a different manner the lipid acid kenel occur significantly to change.For instance, the per-cent by the C8:0 do not produced through the former frustule of genetically engineered mulberry fruit shape is 0%.Yet, through engineered and express C8:0 that the spire calyx produces apart from the former frustule of mulberry fruit shape of flower thioesterase and be increased to and account for total triglyceride level 13.2% from accounting for total triglyceride level 0%.Again for instance, account for approximately 39% of total fatty acids through the combination total amount of C8:0 in engineered algae strain and C10:0.By contrast, in wild-type cell, the combination total amount of C8:0 and C10:0 is 0.01%.Again for instance, the total amount that makes saturated fatty acid by the cells that the white elm thioesterase is destroyed in the expression of endogenous SAD2b is from approximately 32% being increased to approximately 90%.This has increased almost 300%.
As hereinafter disclosed various lipid acid kenel can be for the multiple application that involves triglyceride level oils.The triglyceride level of the saturated fatty acid that for instance, comprises high-caliber short carbon chain length (C12:0, C14:0, C16:0) is particularly useful for producing renewable rocket engine fuel.For production of biodiesel, need the amount of C18:1 higher.For soap slab production, need to control and realize the proper equilibrium between saturation ratio and short chain fatty acid.For instance, the C12:0 of a large amount is that bubbling character is required, and longer chain length provides more structure, and the triglyceride level that contains linoleic acid plus linolenic acid does not cater to the need so because they can cause oxidative instability.For liquid soap, need the amount of C12:0 and C14:0 higher.In addition, for soap slab and liquid soap production, need the amount of C6:0, C8:0 and C10:0 lower, because these short chain triglyceride are skin irritants.
